DON’T FEEL ASHAMED TO CONFESS YOUR MISTAKES!
Jesus wants
to tell us:
How do you
come and take Me as Holy Communion when you ignore My will?
Many times
you approach in a showy manner, although you do not accept to repent with
humility, or feel ashamed to confess your mistakes.
Have you
ever imagined a greater humiliation than the one I suffered when they took off
My clothes, when they dishonored Me, when they swore at Me and when they put Me up on the Cross in the most
disrespectful way? Is there a greater
humiliation than this?”
And yet you
do not want to suffer even the slightest humiliation, to simply confess the mistake
you have made and say:
“My God, My
Father, forgive me for what I have done”.
And not only
you feel ashamed to confess your mistakes with humility to your confessor
priest, but also you do not confess these things even to Me, although you know
that nobody can see you, nobody can criticize you or comment on you.
You do not
even raise your eyes towards Heaven to say:
“My God,
forgive me for making this mistake” and beg for My mercy and My forgiveness.
You do not even do this…
WHO PREVENTS YOU FROM SHAME?
Nobody prevents you; only your unfaithfulness
and lack of faith. Because if you knew that I exist and guide your life, you
would think of nothing else. But immediately after you have made the mistake,
you should let your soul kneel so that I would listen to My child’s sweet voice.
I like listening to you saying
you are sorry because this action is like perfume rising to Heaven. Very few
perfumes rise to Heaven…And why don’t people apologize anymore? They are too selfish to do so!
You are so
trapped in the Devil’s constructed satanic technique that you do not realize
how much you damage yourself when you get angry, when you swear, when you
become furious, when you are cruel, when you are jealous and when you criticize
others. You have not understood this. These are the mistakes that are bitter
for My heavenly Father. Why don’t you
kneel? Why don’t you apologize? Why don’t you let your soul confess your
mistake so that I can show mercy on you?
………………..
Write down
your mistakes now and confess them. Write them down because you forget them the
moment you say them out loud.
Write them
down and pray to your heavenly Father:
«See, My
Father, I have done this and that».
And when
repentance reaches the deepest parts of your heart, then you will come full of
humility and without fear to confess to My servants, the spiritual fathers.
Then they will raise their hands to heaven and will reverse the powers of
darkness and will offer you, with the power and the authority I have given
them, eternity through the coming of My Holy Spirit.

Elpidios Vagianakis)
